1. The biggest of the six simultaneous blazes in Los Angeles, in the Palisades neighbourhood, changed direction, threatening new areas on the western edge of the city. At least 11 people have been killed; more than 150,000 residents are under evacuation orders. California’s governor called for an independent investigation into why some hydrants failed at critical moments earlier this week. 洛杉磯六場同步大火中最大的那場，在帕利塞德斯（Palisades）地區改變了方向，威脅到該市西部邊緣的新區域。截至目前，至少有11人死亡，超過15萬名居民接獲撤離命令。加州州長呼籲進行獨立調查，以查明為何本週稍早在關鍵時刻有些消防栓失效。 2. Ukraine said it had captured two** wounded**North Korean soldiers in the Russian region of Kursk. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the capture was a rare feat because wounded North Koreans would usually be killed by their own side “to erase any evidence” of the country’s involvement in the war—a deployment that Ukrainian and Western sources estimate at 11,000 troops. 烏克蘭表示，在俄羅斯庫爾斯克地區俘獲了兩名受傷的北韓士兵。烏克蘭總統弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基表示，這次俘獲實屬罕見，因為北韓士兵通常會被他們自己人處決，以“消除”該國參與戰爭的任何證據。據烏克蘭和西方消息來源估計，北韓已派遣約11,000名士兵參戰。 3. The black boxes on the Jeju Air flight that crashed in South Korea on December 29th stopped recording in the crucial final four minutes. The country’s transport ministry said it would investigate why the flight data and cockpit voice-recorders on the Boeing 737-800 had stopped working. Only two of the 181 people on board survived the crash, making it South Korea’s worst aviation disaster in decades. 12月29日，一架濟州航空（Jeju Air）航班在南韓墜毀，飛機的黑盒子在關鍵的最後四分鐘停止了記錄。南韓交通部表示，將調查為何這架波音737-800的飛行數據記錄器和駕駛艙語音記錄器停止運作。這場空難僅有181名乘客中的兩人生還，成為南韓數十年來最嚴重的航空災難。 4. Germanytugged a drifting Russian oil tanker—believed to be part of Russia’s “shadow fleet” of old ships used to dodge sanctions—off its Baltic coast to safer waters. The heavily-loaded Eventin was discovered following a power outage near the Baltic island of Rügen on Friday evening. Germany’s foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, called it a threat to the region’s security and tourism. 德國將一艘漂流的俄羅斯油輪拖至更安全的水域。該油輪被認為是俄羅斯為規避制裁而使用的“影子船隊”之一，由老舊船隻組成。這艘滿載的油輪名為 Eventin，於週五晚間在波羅的海的呂根島（Rügen）附近因停電而被發現。德國外交部長安娜萊娜·貝爾博克（Annalena Baerbock）表示，這艘油輪對該地區的安全和觀光產業構成威脅。 5. Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, was sworn in for a third term. In July, most Venezuelans voted against him, but the regime-controlled electoral authority claimed he had won 52% of the vote. Edmundo González, the** rightful** winner, fled to Spain. Many other opposition figures have been detained. America has offered a $25m reward for Mr Maduro’s arrest for drug trafficking. 委內瑞拉總統尼古拉斯·馬杜羅（Nicolás Maduro）宣誓就任第三任期。今年7月，大多數委內瑞拉選民投票反對他，但由政權控制的選舉機構宣稱馬杜羅獲得了52%的選票。合法當選的埃德蒙多·岡薩雷斯（Edmundo González）已逃往西班牙，許多其他反對派人士則遭到逮捕。美國針對馬杜羅的毒品走私指控，懸賞2,500萬美元以換取其逮捕。 6. Israel bombed two ports and a power station in Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen. Houthi-affiliated media said that one person was killed and nine injured. Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, said that the attacks were retaliation for the Iran-backed rebel group’s strikes on his country and cargo ships in the Red Sea, which began shortly after October 7th 2023. 以色列轟炸了葉門胡塞武裝控制的兩個港口和一座發電站。胡塞武裝相關媒體報導稱，襲擊造成一人死亡，九人受傷。以色列總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡（Binyamin Netanyahu）表示，此次攻擊是對伊朗支持的胡塞叛軍在紅海襲擊以色列和貨船的報復行動，該襲擊自2023年10月7日後不久開始。 7. Greenland does not want to be Danish or American but “Greenlandic,” said Múte Egede, its prime minister. Mr Trump, who** covets** the sparsely populated Arctic island for its strategic and economic potential, has refused to rule out a *military seizure*. Meanwhile Denmark proposed purchasing two inspection ships and ramping up dog-sled patrols to boost its security. 格陵蘭不想成為丹麥或美國的一部分，而是想成為“格陵蘭本身”，該國總理穆特·埃格德（Múte Egede）如此表示。美國前總統特朗普對這個人口稀少的北極島嶼垂涎已久，認為其具有重要的戰略和經濟價值，他甚至拒絕排除以軍事手段佔領該島的可能性。與此同時，丹麥提議購買兩艘巡查船並加強狗拉雪橇巡邏，以提升該地區的安全防衛能力。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
